The Snowmobile Tour on Mýrdalsjökull Glacier gives you the opportunity to go up on the top of a glacier. The Mýrdalsjökull glacier is Iceland’s fourth largest glacier and covers the volcano Katla. To get up to the roots of the glacier we will take you up the mountain in a real glacier truck (about 30 min each way). Once there we’ll get on our snowmobiles and ride up the ice cap. From there we can enjoy the glacier landscapes and scenery over south Iceland (weather dependent). Everything needed for the tour is provided and our expert guides will teach you how to handle the snowmobile to enjoy this adventure in a fun but safe way.

Here is some info about The Skaftafell Ice Cave Tour & Glacier Walk: Attendees will explore the naturally formed ice caves and ice tunnels of a stunning outlet glacier. The ice caves, only accessible in winter, open up for exploration when they melt water underneath the glacier freezes over and leaves behind these ice tunnels. Your highly trained and certified glacier guide in Skaftafell in Vatnajokull National Park, you will be fitted with the required glacier gear we provide, like an ice axe, ice spikes and a helmet.
